Q

Hepatotoxic Drugs: What are the components

A

Q

What are black box warnings?

A

strongest safety warning a drug can carry & still remain on the market

29
Q

What are black box warnings?

A

strongest safety warning a drug can carry & still remain on the market

30
Q

What info do black box warnings contain?

A

concise summary of the adverse effects of concern - (warnings & precautions)

31
Q

Which med warning is the most serious by the FDA?

A

Black box warning

32
Q

What should we consider before giving a black box med to a pt?

A

does the potential benefit of treatment outweigh the risk?
are there safer (& equally effective) alternatives?
would a safer but less effective alternative be appropriate?
is the boxed warning applicable to this specific pt?
can action be taken to ameliorate the potential for an adverse reaction?

33
Q

What is the definition of medication errors?

A

any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or pt harm while the medication is in the control of the healthcare professional, pt, or consumer”

34
Q

How many types of med error are there?

A

13 types

35
Q

What factors cause med errors?

A

human factors
communication mistakes = 90% of fatal errors
Name confusion
Packaging, formulations, & delivery services
Labeling & reference material

36
Q

What are the factors affecting individual response?

A

Body composition
Age
Pathophysiology
Tolerance
Comorbidities & drug interactions
Diet

37
Q

How does body composition affect individual response?

A

If the same dose of a drug is given to a big person & a small person, the drug concentration will be higher in the smaller person

38
Q

Why does age affect individual response (infants)?

A

immature organ systmes

39
Q

Why does age effect individual response (older adults)?

A

decline in organ function

40
Q

How does pathophysiology affect the individual response? (kidney disease)

A

reduces rate of drug excretion - drugs may accumulate to toxic levels

41
Q

How does pathophysiology affect the individual response (liver disease)?

A

Reduces rate of drug metabolism - drugs may accumulate to toxic levels

42
Q

If there are more drugs in the system what happens to the liver & kidneys

A

decline in function of liver & kidneys

43
Q

How does tolerance affect individual response?

A

decreased responsiveness to a drug as a result of repeated drug admin

44
Q

How do comorbidites & drug interactions affect individual response?

A

drugs taken to manage one condition may complicate management of another condtion

45
Q

How does diet affect individual response?

A

good diet can elicit therapeutic responses & reduce harm from ADRs
some foods can interact w/ drugs & cause ADRs

46
Q

What can cause failures in taking drugs?

A

Pt compliance
Medication errors

47
Q

How does pt compliance affect the pt taking drugs?

A

manual dexterity & visual acuity
intellectual capacity & psychological state
attitude & belief toward drugs
Can happen at any step in the process

48
Q

Who is the last line of defense for med errors

A

nurse

49
Q

What are geriatric concerns when given meds?

A

organ function
comorbities
polypharmacy
noncompliance

Q

What are Pharmacokinetic Changes: ADME (Elderly)?

A

Absorption
Distribution
Metabolism
Excretion

51
Q

What changes absorption in the elderly?

A

rate of absorption slows
gastric acidity declines

52
Q

What changes in distribution occurs in the elderly?

A

increased body fat % - plasma drug levels reduced
decreased % lean body mass - plasma drug levels increased
decreased total body water - plasma drug levels increased
Decreased serum albumin concentration - plasma drug levels increased

53
Q

What changes in metabolism occur in the elderly?

A

tends to decline w/ age
which is highly variable

54
Q

What changes in excretion occur in the elderly?

A

begins to decline progressively in early adulthood
the most important cause of ADRs in older adults

55
Q

ADRs are how many times more likely in older adults?

A

7 times

Q

ADRs account for what percentage of hospital admissions in older adults?

A

16% of hospital admissions

57
Q

ADRs account for how many percentage of deaths related to medication?

A

50%

58
Q

What are mostly dose related?

A

ADRs

58
Q

What are mostly dose related?

A

ADRs

59
Q

What are mostly dose related?

A

ADRs

60
Q

Are symptoms specific or nonspecific for ADRs in the elderly?

A

they are mostly dose related

60
Q

Are symptoms specific or nonspecific for ADRs in the elderly?

A

nonspecific

61
Q

Are older adults likely to share alcohol or recreational drug use?

A

not very likely

62
Q

Are ADRs mostly avoidable

A

yes

63
Q

What are the important risk factors we should know for the elderly?

A

reduced renal function - drug accumulation
polypharmacy
greater severity of illness
low therapeutic index of drugs
increase individual variation
inadequate supervision of long-term therapy
poor adherence

64
Q

What are the goals of treatment?

A

reduce symps
improve QOL

65
Q

What should we determine when assessing pt’s?

A

drug history
compliance

66
Q

What should we be looking for when we monitor a pt we have given meds to?

A

clinical responses
plasma of drug levels

67
Q

What should we teach when giving a pt meds?

A

how to take meds
Strats for complience

68
